Sure, but at the end of the day, for better or for worse, there are going to be tons of people who simply don't care about whose fault it is - they're going to want their system to work.
I was lucky enough that I was finally able to make enough money to swap out my 2080 with a 6700 XT this week (and wow what a significant difference in how the Linux desktop works with AMD cards), but I have plenty of friends who do have Nvidia cards and if they asked me whether they should give Linux a try I'd have to warn them that they're going to get a subpar experience due to it - and all they're going to hear despite me saying that it's Nvidia's fault is that Linux isn't good enough.
So when it comes to Wayland + Nvidia, hopefully Nvidia gets with the program, but otherwise we're (the Linux community) going to be at a crossroads of whether we want to get more adoption on Linux - Nvidia is not a small market by any means.
I don't go and try to proselytize people into coming over to Linux, but there are absolutely plenty of people who do and the mindset of "It's not Linux's fault, its X (ha)" isn't exactly going to work there.
I get it, you get it, but plenty of people won't.
